New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 40221

Received: 05/08/2021

Respondent: Miss Sarah Jane Palmer

Representation Summary:

I have been made aware of the possible interest in developing houses on the green field down sandhill road Ss95by (reference CFS059) and felt I should leave my personal comment on this. I strongly OBJECT to this due to the disaster it would cause for the residents of the road and neighbouring roads:
1- increased noise pollution.
2- loss of nature for the abundance of wildlife we have.
3- Increased traffic of which our small road would not cope with due to only being a single-width road. Each house could have a minimum of 2 cars which is 40 new cars (likely more), Also, where will these cars park as I highly doubt they will have adequate parking and therefor will spill out on the road causing all manner of disruption and disputes.
4- Our road is a quiet safe road which has resident children playing on it daily! This would no longer be possible due to the increased traffic.
5- This will likely devalue our properties (especially if there is affordable housing).
6- This will cause more traffic problems for the neighbouring roads such as sandhill road on the opposite side, Rayleigh avenue, Eastwood rise and gravel road, as a few examples, which are already used as rat runs and can’t cope with traffic as it is.

I hope my OBJECTION will be logged.
